locked cabinet
Keyed furniture compartment
A locked cabinet is a storage unit secured with a lock, requiring a key or combination to open.
The phrase often appears in contexts involving restricted access—medications, firearms, confidential files, or valuables kept from children or unauthorized persons: The cleaning supplies are in the locked cabinet.
In bureaucratic and legal contexts, locked cabinet implies proper security protocols have been followed.
